First Patient Dosed in Dauntless-1 Ph 2 Clinical Trial of PMD-026 in Combination with Fulvestrant for RSK2-high Breast Cancer
“We are especially excited about our Phase 2 trial because PMD-026 has the potential to overcome CDK4/6 resistance based on pre-clinical and early clinical studies” said Sandi Dunn, PhD, Founder and CEO of Phoenix Molecular Designs. “In our Phase 1/1b monotherapy study, PMD-026 demonstrated favorable tolerability, with no peripheral neuropathy, hair loss, or hyperglycemia. Moreover, PMD-026 demonstrated a median progression free survival (mPFS) of 4.8 months in patients with RSK2-high tumors versus only 1.3 months in patients with RSK2-low tumors in a subset analysis of patients who had no more than five prior therapies. We believe that PMD-026 as a combination therapy represents a promising new approach to treating advanced breast cancer.”

“In the first reported data from the clinical combinations of our PRMT5 inhibitor vopimetostat and RAS(ON) inhibitors, we saw extremely encouraging early results, with 92% of patients with PDAC in the vopimetostat plus daraxonrasib arm achieving an objective response, supporting the preclinical data showing synergistic activity of PRMT5 + RAS
“Non-small cell lung cancer is the most prevalent lung disease with more than 8,000 patients in the U.S. diagnosed each year with KRAS G12D-mutations. Receiving Fast Track designation for VS-7375 reinforces both the significant unmet need and the potential of VS-7375 to improve outcomes for patients with KRAS G12D-mutated lung
“KRAS has notoriously been considered an undruggable target and patients with KRAS-driven cancers continue to face limited treatment options with survival measured in months, not years,” said John Reed, M.D., Ph.D., Executive Vice President, Innovative Medicine, Research & Development, Johnson & Johnson. “We believe the proprietary Firelink™ platform will overcome
